About Us

Harmattan AI is a next-generation defense prime building autonomous and scalable defense systems. Following the close of a $200M Series B, valuing the company at $1.4 billion, we are expanding our teams and capabilities to deliver mission‑critical systems to allied forces. Our work is guided by clear values: building technologies with real‑world impact, pursuing excellence in everything we do, setting ambitious goals, and taking on the hardest technical challenges. We operate in a demanding environment where rigor, ownership, and execution are expected.

About the Role

You will own the pathway end to end: sourcing partner‑nation opportunities, working them through the U.S. government system, and closing them yourself, with live cases waiting rather than a function to build on paper.

Responsibilities

• Own the US FMS and security cooperation pipeline against a number, source, qualify, advance and close partner‑nation opportunities.
• Move partners from stated interest to funded action: formal requirement, Letter of Request, Letter of Offer and Acceptance.
• Choose the right pathway for each case — FMS, DCS, BPC or FMF — and build the funding and approval strategy behind it.
• Map and work the decision‑makers in your field.
• Drive releasability, exportability and licensing to resolution with internal legal, engineering and program teams.
• Get Harmattan onboarded as an approved supplier in target nations, and unblock stalled cases by finding the real constraint.

Requirements

• Educational Background: A strong academic record—ideally in a technical or business field (e.g., Engineering, Computer Science, Business Administration).
• Proven Leadership: A record of personally sourcing and closing international defense business — deals you owned, with outcomes you can speak to — and of leading legal, engineering, program and government stakeholders to a close without authority over any of them.
• Security Cooperation Depth: Real FMS and security cooperation experience — case and LOA development, funding authorities, pathway selection — plus ITAR and export control fluency, foreign supplier onboarding, embassy‑level engagement.
• Complex Project Management: Avid learner with a demonstrated capacity to handle large‑scale, complex projects – offering innovative solutions and leading teams to deliver outstanding results.
• Adaptability & Mobility: Thrives under pressure in a fast‑paced, dynamic environment; embraces a “no‑task‑is‑too‑small” mentality. Willing to travel as cases require.
• Communication & Influence: Excellent written and verbal communication, capable of leading diverse principals – from junior members to senior executives.
• Commitment: 100% dedication to Harmattan AI's mission, vision, and ambitious growth plans, ready to go the extra mile to ensure operational excellence.
